Hermione's Secret
Back at Godric's Hollow it is very quiet in the home of the Potters. There is a knock on the door and Harry Potter rises. As the door opens, a man with scarlet red hair and a woman with bushy brunette locks enter through the threshold.
"I can't believe it Harry...it seems like just a couple of years ago that we stepped onto that Hogwarts express and met Miss Know-it-all here..and now my little Rosie is off for her first year...straight A's just like her mum I bet.." Ron spoke
"He's been rambling like this all day.." Hermione said
Harry and Ginny sniggered
"It's nice to see you Ron" Harry welcomed "You too Hermione"
Ginny got out of her armchair and gave her brother a kiss on the cheek and then hugged Hermione.
"Uncle Ronnie! Aunt Hermie!" yelled the little red haired girl as she leapt off the floor where she was playing with the black scruffy dog
Ron knelt down to hug the girl and then said "Are you happy to have the house all to yourself Lily?"
"Nice Ron, very sympathetic..." said Hermione
Lily answered back "No Uncle Ronnie, I miss playing quidditch with James and Al...But I can't wait to go to Hogwarts just like them!"
Harry and Ginny sat down on the auburn couch while Hermione sat on the red armchair that Ginny previously occupied while Ron joined Lily in scratching the dog on his belly.
"Who's a good boy Snuffles?" said Ron to the dog
Ginny spoke "Lily its about time for bed. Why don't you go upstairs and I'll be up in a bit to tuck you in?"
"Awwwww, but mum! Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Hermie just got in! Why do I have to go to bed now?!" whined her daughter
"Now Lily," said Harry to his daughter "Listen to your mother. Go upstairs and brush your teeth and I'll be up to read you a story..."
"Only if it can be Cinderella! I love that story!" said Lily
Ron sat down in the armchair next to his wife and said "You read her muggle stories?!"
"For goodness sake's Ron! Who cares about muggle things?!" Hermione yelled
A couple moments later Harry came down the stairs after reading Lily Cinderella. "Hermione do you mind coming in the kitchen with me for a little bit?" asked Ginny
"Um..no. It's alright" said Hermione quietly
"We'll be just a moment.." said Ginny to the two husbands
As Hermione followed Ginny into the kitchen she sat down on one of the wicker chairs.
"Okay Hermione, I've known you for most of my life and I can tell when something's wrong...You've been acting weird ever since three days ago, now tell me what's wrong." Ginny said, interrogating her sister-in-law
Hermione immediately burst into tears. She was seriously hiding something and although neither Ron nor Harry knew it (they were boys after all), Ginny was not going to leave the kitchen without an explanation.
"Okay, okay I'll tell you" said Hermione hysterically crying through her hands "You just have to promise not to tell anybody, even Harry..."
"I promise" said Ginny handing Hermione a box of tissues
"Okay...You're the only one who knows this...but it's been killing me not to tell...well Ginny...I'm pregnant..." Hermione declared and the words trembled in the air as Ginny looked at Hermione's tear-covered face
